Mission Statement

The City of Des Plaines sponsors special events to help build a sense of community pride. We are a community with a strong volunteer base and cooperative mindset.

Description

The City of Des Plaines is located approximately 17 miles northwest of downtown Chicago near O’Hare International Airport. It is a vibrant, diverse collection of residential, commercial, and industrial land uses, encompassing roughly 15 square miles of land area.

No one is a stranger for long in Des Plaines. Relative newcomers work right alongside people who have lived here their entire lives to keep this community growing and progressing . . . and all opinions are valued. Our perseverance and convictions also keep us moving forward, through good times and bad. We are connected to this town, and to each other, and that connection is evident everywhere.
